  • SQL 2005 Express, WSS 3.0 and Database Size Limitations

    Apparently WSS 3.0 comes with an embedded version of SQL Server 2005 Express Edition that is different from the version that comes with MOSS, at least with regards to database size limitations. With MOSS you have a 4GB database size limitation; you do not have this limitation with the SQL server that...

  • List data and SQL data

    I am currently trying to pull data from an SQL database, on one of our current systems, and into WSS Lists. However, the query is currently returning close to 50000 items and it is growing.
